Meredith Viera: Talk about movies with a heart: Brokeback Mountain. Did you have any idea when you were making that what you were sitting on, so to speak? So to speak - I probably shouldn???t use that term, actually. I apologize.

Meredith just is a horrible person to put on the Today Show; in my opinion she always flubs what should be easy transitions. It seems like nearly every week she’ll jump from a rape/murder/animal abuse story right to Al with the weather with nary a warning about “switching gears” and as an American who wants a smooth segue I am insulted. Insulted I tell you!

She is on national television for three hours every single day doing nothing but talking. She’s bound to slip up once in awhile. Its a tough job and I think people can be over critical and don’t realize just how hard it is. Overall I think she does a fine job, so did Katie Couric.

i saw that live…i thought the whole thing with jake saying that al roker shouldn’t ever again be allowed near a baseball field (al threw the first pitch at a game somewhere and it was the worst thing ever…he pitched like a drunken sorority girl) was a lot more funny and awkward…but now that i recall, jake was the bottom in “brokeback…” so i guess i get the joke. ha ha.

No,if Ann Coulter said it she’d have said “Did you have any idea when you were making that what you were fucking a guy in the asshole? Because you were and you are going to burn for all eternity…as in alpha and omega, Jesus and the NRA” etc. Barf.
